💫 Why this mindfulness course?💫
An 8-week mindfulness course is a training programme in which you will discover how you unknowingly contribute to stress and unhappiness. Through practising mindfulness, you will acquire mental skills and develop new habits and attitudes to deal more skillfully with stress and life’s challenges. You will learn how to shift towards greater mental and emotional well-being.
This course follows the curriculum of the mindfulness-based stress reduction approach (MBSR). It was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn back in 1979. Since then, more than 25,000 people have completed this evidence-based programme.

💫How can this mindfulness course help you?💫
There are so many benefits to mindfulness. Here are some of them:
- Approach your life with more composure, energy, understanding and enthusiasm
- Develop the ability to cope more effectively with both short-term and long-term stressful situations, gaining insight into response rather than reaction
- Enhance your ability to manage and reduce pain levels
- Improve your focus, resilience, and capacity to recover more quickly from challenging events
- Learn how to access and cultivate a natural capacity to actively engage in caring for yourself and find greater balance, ease, and peace of mind
💫What is the course structure and commitment?💫
This course will run for a total of 9 weeks, comprising 8 classes and a Day of Mindfulness. The structure of the MBSR 8-week course:
- 8 weekly in-person classes on Saturday mornings
- One Day of Mindfulness on November 29, from 10:00 to 16:30 (same location)
- Daily home practice assignments for 30 minutes each day
- You must be willing to commit to attending all classes and to practising daily home assignments for eight weeks
The maximum group size is 8 participants, with a minimum of 6.
💫Rate💫
This course will run as a test course and is a part of a programme to become a certified mindfulness teacher. While course fees vary, a typical MBSR course would start at around 300 euros. I offer this course for 150 EUR, which is mainly intended to cover the costs and to enable commitment.
